Dreadful seevice
Room was fine and bed comfy. My issue was that I booked this for after an event I was at and therefore didn’t arrive until 3.30am. A key reason why I chose this hotel was the advertised 24/7 reception desk. The staff on the desk were quite rude and informed me that they had marked my reservation as a no show and they may not be able to give me a room. I had paid in full. They didn’t apologise for this but told me to wait for around 15mins whilst they worked out if they could. I genuinely believe they would have sent me away however I expressed frustration and annoyance which then made them ask me to wait whilst they chatted to decide if they would help me. As a woman on her own I found the whole thing unbelievable uncomfortable and was made to feel like I had done something wrong. Would never stay again and would strongly recommend not staying as a solo traveller.

Lovely room. Bonus of a kitchenette, especially when traveling as a family. Tube just round the corner and on the Piccadilly line - what’s not to like? We enjoyed our stay here.

Lovely stay at the Resident Kensington
We had a lovely overnight stay at the Resident Kensington for a 60th Birthday and Anniversary. The staff were so polite and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Our Room was spotless and extremely comfortable. Great location for the tube and in walking distance to Kensington High street. Would highly recommend this lovely Hotel for a stay in London.

Would Definitely Stay Again…!
Great location in the west side of central London, one block from the Earls Court Tube. Plus several great restaurants right in the immediate vicinity. Hotel staff are super friendly, helpful with any questions, and even serve wine nightly at 6pm. The room was super clean with a mini kitchen for convenience (great for happy hour snacks). The shower was awesome! Definitely recommend…

3 nights at The Resident Kensington
Excellent staff at the front desk. Always helpful and knowledgeable. We needed a taxi to Heathrow and they booked us a private driver who arrived exactly on time. The hotel is on a quiet and safe residential street but there are restaurants, bakeries, shopping and the Earls Court tube station with in 2 blocks. Great location. I would stay there again.

The room was really disappointing. I booked a Deluxe Double room based on images on here but it looked nothing like it, & needed blinds/curtains to stay shut for privacy as it was right by parking spaces. As a solo travelling woman it was offputting to be in a basement/ground floor flat, but mostly it's just irritating to book a room that's shown to be lovely, bright and looked worth paying more for, and being so disappointed. I appreciate not all rooms will look identical but the basement deluxe double room is so different that it feels like false advertising. Staff and lobby area were good & the local area felt safe but based on the room difference vs booking made, and it having a shower that didn't drain + dirty wine glasses too, I wouldn't recommend.

Staff pleasant and great location. However, it is poor value for the price. Room L1, a deluxe double with an outdoor patio, had major construction that butted right up against and rose for stories above patio wall. Scaffolding and full crew starting at 8:30am. Courtesy bottle of wine was nice. But, There were no wash clothes, q-tips or shower cap. No bottle of water. Missing basic amenities expected for (inc taxes) $422 USD a night- without breakfast. Kitchenette is a closet with a small fridge, electric kettle, coffee maker that you find in any standard hotel room. Only bonus was small microwave. Shop around. Location is lovely and there are many hotels in the neighborhood. This simply isn’t a $400 hotel room.

The hotel was very quiet and the bed was comfortable. The pillows were too flat but the sheets were of excellent quality. The room was very small and the narrow halls and staircases made it difficult to carry luggage.
